7 US Music Festivals You Can’t Miss This Spring

With Spring just around the corner, bringing with it the promise of longer days, hotter weather and endless BBQs, we can’t help but get excited about 2018’s music festivals. Booting out the winter blues, it’s about this time every year that we re-open our festival confirmation email and remind ourselves of the epic package we’ve chosen (largely because our accompanying friends want to know the toilet-to-field ratio or other annoying questions like ‘should I bring a tent?’). If you’re not in the band of people who booked festival tickets the second they were released, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of tickets left for some of the most popular festivals across the United States. We’ve listed below our top seven festivals happening this Spring or early in the Summer season, starting right now in April and rolling through to mid June.
